Jay zee Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Just a usual work day in the truck delivering timber when I see a small JDM breakers literally next door. I looked over the fence to see a Z's front end. Curiosity got the better of me so I popped in for a look, only to see they were HR's!!. I shot the guy an offer for £200 he agreed as long as I take them off. Absolutely over the moon! They need a deep polish and one has some condensation from being out in the rain however, it gives me a nice project during the winter. Polished one up during my break and looks sensational!

davey_83 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 That is some luck, not only are they facelift lamps but we're fitted to a DE. Great upgrade for any 03-05 350z, what a price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone will correct me here but did the uprev come with those HR lights or was it just HR's?🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack94 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Yup Rev-ups also have the LED tail lights 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWoMP Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I may have this wrong but isnt the engine in the GT4s known as the Rev-up? In that case, they had original head and rear light units... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Yes the first cars that had the revup engine were the limited edition 2005 GT4. They did not have the upgraded facelift headlights or rear lights. Once the standard run of rev up started they received the facelift lights and they carried over to the HR engines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay zee Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Just an update: After drying the condensation, it left water marks inside the lens😭 So I was put in touch with a nice guy who regularly works on Z headlights to bring them back to life. Unfortunately they quoted £300 to open one headlight and clean the waters spots. As this is wayyy out my budget I tackled it myself. Literally had them split and cleaned in 30mins😁 Resealed with butyl and ceramic coated. Far from perfect! However, it's not a "show car" anymore so I'm more than happy! Let's hope they're plug and play with my 03 Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Fantastic work and even more £££ saved too. I can highly recommend PPF for the lamps to stop them fading again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay zee Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Slowly bringing them to 2023 with some new LED indicator and side light bulbs. Cheap enough. Will hopefully not get the hyper flash but I won't hold my breath😂 They look great though! Removing the front bumper tomorrow to fit the new HR's. Can we all please join hands and pray they bloody work😂🙏🏼 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 They be looking most excellent Now get some clear vinyl wrap on them to prevent oxidation spoiling all your hard work! Otherwise even the pants British Summers will have the oxidation back more times than Arnie and the Terminator franchise 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
